Crofton Elementary, Severna Park High schools are moved up on the construction schedule under the proposed budget.
Cries for help at some county schools went unanswered, but other school projects were moved ahead on the list of scheduled work under next year's proposed county budget.

Astle is a military veteran who has been involved in the state senate since 1995, and before that was in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1983-1995.
